ELEMENT-FREE GALERKIN METHOD FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC-FIELD COMPUTATIONS

Although numerically very efficient the finite element method exhibits difficulties whenever the remeshing of the analysis domain must be pe rformed. For such problems utilizing meshless computation methods is v ery promising. In this paper, a kind of meshless method called the ele ment-free Galerkin method is introduced for electromagnetic field comp utation. The mathematical background for the moving least square appro ximation employed in the method is given, and the numerical implementa tion is briefly discussed. Application of the proposed method for elec tromagnetic field computation and verification of the obtained results using theoretically known solution is also presented.
